Try the Lexicon - I bet most are listed.

But ... just of the top of my head :

Bowman Wright is something to do with quidditch (I think)
Gwenog Jones is also quidditch I think, a player for the Harpies maybe>
I think Hengist of Woodcroft and Morgan Le Fay are mentioned in the books in
regards to being on Frog cards, Morgan obviously being lifted from Arthurian
legend,
Newt Scamander wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Uric the Oddball is mentioned in one of Binns terribly boring history
classes I think.
